October 2025 Rent Check

The October 2025 rental market in Greater Phoenix continues to show a clear shift toward a more normalized pace after the volatility of the last few years. Inventory has loosened compared to prior seasons, giving renters more options while keeping most landlords focused on competitive pricing and strong property condition. Average rents are holding relatively steady, with only modest month-over-month adjustments, while days on market and lease activity point to a market that still favors well-presented, accurately priced homes. For investors, this environment rewards smart acquisition and realistic rent projections; for tenants, it’s a better time to shop around and negotiate than in the peak frenzy years.
